    Frontier WHNP

    Jory replied to carlygh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had a 4.0 and couldn't get in with three years of full-time NICU experience and L&D experience as well. However, I think Frontier's applications have backslid. They used to close admissions for...

    About to graduate but won't get recognized

    Jory replied to nyc2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think someone needs to print up some stickers and put on them with the correction. Very presumptive of the

    My first case of NEC

    Jory replied to boardchic's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I remember my first one and after a few you'll realize how common it is. The first one I had was when I was about a week out of orientation, 23-weeker, and 24 hours after they started 1 ml breast milk...

    Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    Jory replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do any of the above. The problem will take care of itself. However, I would report anything that deals with patient safety consistently to the manager if that student repetitively fails...

    Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Jory replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    ...be patient. Terminations are not instant and they have to complete an investigation or else they can get sued if they don't follow company policy. You don't know what is happening behind the...

    Failed, nclex rn 5 times! Help?!?!

    Jory replied to lystacy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can tell you that waiting three months to take it to start with may have been a huge mistake. Statistically, the longer you wait, your chances go way down starting at about six weeks post...

    Help stop unfair hiring practices for stipulated nurses in Texas

    Jory replied to Nursinwill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sorry, I have to say that I agree with the BON measures. I am not being mean, just realistic. What you want to do, is to force an employer to put you on equal playing field, even give you special...

    Valedictorian caught cheating

    Jory replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ...then I would continue with the protest. She should have received a zero. I doubt she would have earned the right to be the top dog after getting a zero and possibly failing the class. That would...

    PLEASE HELP! fired/demoted RN still on orientation

    Jory replied to jrobbin44's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Many nursing assistants around here are still working as assistants at their current jobs until they find something that they really want as an RN. Some are...

    PLEASE HELP! fired/demoted RN still on orientation

    Jory replied to jrobbin44's topic in General Nursing

    They need to pass a law to keep employers from tellling you a lie. Firing an employee for "not being a good fit" is not justification to report it to the Board of Nursing. They are lying to you. They...

    What makes a nursing contract binding & official?

    Jory replied to Kit.Kat's topic in General Nursing

    If the contract doesn't state the penalty, then legally, THERE IS NO PENALTY. Also, call the Labor Board if they do not pay you for orientation. They will make sure that you do. I guarantee that...

    New Grad with DUI from 2 years ago...What to expect next? Is employment possible?

    Jory replied to newgradui's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I seriously doubt that the attorney is going to get you any different results than what the Board is offering you. Under what circumstances could she argue? There really isn't any. Keep in mind,...

    Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    Jory replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand how it "couldn't be proven" if you directly witnessed it. It doesn't matter if she had a negative drug test or not. She could be stealing for someone else. No, I have never had...

    Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Unless you have viewed the original court record (which you cannot because she was a juvenile) you don't know what

    Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    Jory replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    No, they do not. Judges will order the record sealed or unsealed. Not all juvenile cases are automatically sealed. Many people incorrectly believe that they are. You can change your name but you...

    Valedictorian caught cheating

    Jory replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The programs around here will not kick you out of the program for ONE incidence of cheating on an exam or assignment. They just notate your transcript. Doing something in clinical will get you...

    Valedictorian caught cheating

    Jory replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My opinion is this: If she received a zero on the assignment and went through the disciplinary process and had her transcript noted and she is still the valedictorian? Then that is all they can do....

    Official NP "No Fly" list

    Jory replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have to disagree with her on the "No GRE or MAT". She is absolutely wrong and I would refer her to current research. Many top colleges have eliminated GRE's from SOME of the majors. This is...

    HIPAA/ Confidentiality Violation??

    Jory replied to thunigan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes and no. If you were trying to help a classmate, no violation occurred. The reason is that HIPAA allows an exception if information is shared for educational purposes. That is why, for example,...

    Methadone and NAS- from a mom's perspective

    Jory replied to MamaAndDoula's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I live in one of the highest drug concentration areas in the country and the NICU here keeps between 8 and 10 NAS babies on any given day. We have heard it all, seen it all. Birth control fails, that...

    Weekly NICU MRSA swabs

    Jory replied to countyERNICU's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We do the same. I would like to see the evidence to support the expense of weekly swabs. Sounds like a waste of money to

    I made a mistake and feel awful

    Jory replied to kerussll's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The next time you get a baby in, tell the transport nurse, "I'll need you to label the lines before you leave"...she put them in, she needs to take responsibility for them. That isn't your fault....

    Boycott schools that make you find your own preceptors

    Jory replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I couldn't agree with this more. I am actually getting ready to pull my admission today from a school that I have already been accepted to for an FNP program and re-direct my admissions only to...

    Ethical issues

    Jory replied to Jlo531's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    So, the ASSumption, is that nobody is allowed to change their lives? Once reported, always suspected? Do they flag the drug-seekers, known addicts the same way? I think that this could be seen as...

    I'm so afraid that I violated Hipaa!

    Jory replied to guest879529's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Uh, no you did not. You don't need to do anything. I agree, in the future, don't include the gender. 99% of my nursing instructors talk about scenarios that they encountered in practice. I have a...
